Guide for Industrial Waste Management

This chapter is designed to help assess the risks associated with the
treatment, disposal, or application of industrial waste directly to the
land by accounting for the designated ground-water constituents identified
in Chapter 7 - Section A: Assessing Risk and other waste parameters, such
as, soil properties and plant and microbial interactions. This chapter
also explains how to evaluate the capacity of the soil, vegetation, and
microbial life to safely assimilate the waste.

This chapter helps to answer the following questions:

Which waste parameters must be evaluated during the identification
of waste constituents for land application?

How do I measure soil properties and understand the interaction of
plants and microbes with waste?

How do I account for climate variations in the land application program?
